WilmerHale is a proud sponsor of GAR Live: New York 2022. The program will cover important developments in international arbitration, both regional and global.

WilmerHale Partner Rachael Kent will be speaking on a panel titled “International arbitration’s responsibility to the wider community."

Can the international arbitration community lead the way in addressing the pressing issues of the day? Issues presented in international arbitration often seem to extend beyond the immediate dispute between the named parties and call upon us to re-examine the role of adjudication through international arbitration in tackling the issues of the day. Panelists will discuss ways in which the international arbitration community can continue to advance diversity and inclusion, incorporate greener practices, and grapple with the challenges presented by the broader conceptions of the interests of stakeholders in the disputes at issue.

The panel will discuss:

• The role of transparency and the interests of stakeholders beyond the parties to the arbitration
• The emergence of human rights claims extending to claims regarding environmental impacts
• The impacts of economic sanctions on dispute resolution and access to justice
